Experiences of the Implant VS Injection

I've taken Microgynon 30 for the last 15 years, but have had to come of due to migraines. I've tried a few other pills but they've just not suited so I'm thinking of either the injection or implant as I'm dreadful at remembering to take my pill at times too.
Also, I'm only 30 and would love children one day, but have no immediate plans.

I'm really stuck on which would suit.

I had the implant and loved it. The dose of hormone is much lower than with the injection.

Implant was removed and had ds 9 months +10 days later. The few I know who have had injection tried for years before had a dc.

I agree, they are both notorious for causing nuisance bleeding. The only real difference is how quickly you will be able to get pregnant when you quit them. Just depends how far away your baby making plans are !

Have you considered a coil?
I have the copper one, it's good for up to 10 years, and it's non hormonal so you can conceive as soon as it's removed as there's nothing at play in your bloodstream.
